Go beyond script analysis. Get expert career consultation from a working Hollywood screenwriter.

Writing a great screenplay is a tall order. Building a screenwriting career is a whole other mountain to climb. You need the proper tools and know-how: An understanding of the marketplace. Representation you can count on. Alternate buyers if the studios don’t bite.

You’ll need to know how to correctly format and present your script, how to protect yourself from being ripped off, how to pitch effectively, how to conduct yourself in a meeting, how to attach talent, which websites to post your script on, which screenplay contests to enter (and which to avoid), and how, if you’re so inclined, to go the independent route and direct your own film.

Most importantly, and before all else, you'll need to know how to write a script that will stand apart from the rest of the stack and have its best shot of selling.

These are things you can’t learn from a class or book or seminar. You either learn from experience or from someone else’s experience.
